If we have time (and we round up a few more people) the alternates will make up the Red Team and will take on the winner of the first match.

As a reminder, all players must attend the mandatory pre-meeting at 10:30am Monday morning unless you have made prior arrangements with me. If you are not there by 10:45, you will be replaced on the board. If you have special attacks, they must be present as well.

If you are not on the list, and are hoping to be a part of the Red Team, this is the time for you to be waiting outside the door (pieces will be selected by 11am, if we are to have any). Remember, there are no guarantees there will be a second game.

If your cosplay is not complete, you may be replaced.

I will be emailing notifications out later tonite or tomorrow.. most likely tomorrow. If you have any questions, or decide you no longer wish/can participate, please let me know via e-mail or PM, or you can talk to me at con (someone is bound to know where I am).

And now... let the trash talk begin! See you guys this weekend!

ETA: The Warners are joined at the hip, so Roy and Female Sasuke are stepping up.

xDDD yay!I was thinking of applying for chess master this year, seeing as there is no way to go up from King of the White Team xD;;;Queen-->King-->KnightBut sweet, I'm a knight. Awesomest piece on the board. Oh, and which version of my character was chosen for Knight? I submitted the jumpsuit and the dress versions of her. I'm guessing you want the dress one xD;;;

EDITLe gasp! I get to fight against my husband and lover, Zidane! Whatever will I do? *readies summons* >D Payback for all the cheatin' with the castle maids.

Maybe we could recruit evil chars for next year? I'll add in my Kayako from Ju-On/The Grudge and my friend Emilie (Eiko this year) will be doing Sadako of The Ring/Ringu fame, complete with a cardboard well xD.

We will definitely be recruiting next year! *sadly has no evil characters she could really do*

xDDD I'll definately make sure to apply as Kayako then. I know how to do all her make-up, bloodied and non-bloodied version alike, I can twitch like her, sans the special effect frame skipping, and have practiced her croak...Now to make it funnier by making a little toy plush of Toshio or grab a black cat plushie. xD

This'll be fun! I'm a piece that gets real movement! Queen was amazing two years ago, as was King, but the latter usually gets movement only in the latter half of the game and king is lucky to get a single battle. xD;;; Still amazing though.

Will there be enough for a second game, do you think? Pulling people for a red team, recycling/switching out pieces, changing out the losing chess master like last year, etc. Because I would so do chess master if so. I still remember how a losing pawn rose to Chess Master and beat our beloved Olivia last year.

My chess skills are a bit rusty, but I was on the chess team and when I was little was the first to beat my dad, an ex-chess champion, in a while. It earned me a hundred bucks xD

EDITMaybe I can get my friend Chelsea to do one of her many evil chars... like that evil queen chick from the first season of Sailor Moon... Beryl! Or Kirie from Fatal Frame 1 *schemes to eventually get out of the battle of the sexes funk*

I MADE IT!!! <3 <3 <3 I can't believe I made it!!!! Wow... those 16 hours sprees for four days straight making that cosplay really paid off!!! (Made it out of a sweater, two pairs of pants, a vest and duct tape. LOTS OF DUCT TAPE. XD) I'm a pawn, BUT THIS IS STILL AWESOME!! <3 *Dances around happily* Now... sleep... *faints*

My friend who is the King piece for the Guys is happy to be in it for the first time 8'D

That's one of the Bleach characters I am not really familiar with...however I am very familiar with Zechs, the boy's Queen...I will enjoy beating you all.

And against Tamaki (BTW we should talk character interaction and such in the next few days Austen!) this should be quite amusing...though being in character will be um...interesting...(I don't normally play characters like Sakura, so this'll be be new!)

So Niki...if I end up being the one who kills you, will you just readily lay down for me to walk all over you because you are a man and I am a woman?Even though I'm really a man turned into a girl?

I'm like...the traitor. XDYou should worship me, Niki!I am a man who turned himself into a woman and now I am surrounded by them! Be jealous of my amazing ninja skills that have given me access to many women who can help to revive my clan!

Hi, not involved, just totally blown away by how amazingly complex this enterprise is. I've never been able to attend it and had not realized how much went into it & how full of zeal participants are for it. You are all amazing!
